Depth and Color
Among the most frequent comments about my work are references to the depth in my paintings. I think viewers are noticing how I create the illusions of form and distance on the flat surfaces of paintings. Besides creating depth in my work I also enjoy working with color and I occasionally experiment with new combinations of pigments. I often add colors to paintings that vary from nature to add interest and draw the viewer’s eye into the work. Although I paint realistically I am working toward expressing myself with greater simplicity by adding more detail and contrast around my center of interest and less in the rest of the painting. This means I focus more on what is important in my subject.

Hi, Judith
Welcome to the world of blogging–that fascinating and sometimes time-killing diversion. Your watercolors are beautiful, and your art quilts based on them are even more beautiful. Holly designed my guild’s website (Pine Belt Quilters) and I admire her talents as a quilter, photographer, and web guru. You and I are also connected on the SAQArtique01 crit group. So we have lots in common. I will enjoy watching for your posts.

Martha, I think the first comment on my new blog is more exciting than actually getting the new blog set up. Thanks so much for leaving the comment here; it helps me feel connected to an audience. Thanks for the positive comments about my paintings and art quilts. You and I do have a lot in common. We are both grateful to Holly Knot, we belong to the same critique group in SAQA and, according to Holly, we are both cat lovers.
